part of a federal initiative to enhance the
national capacity for critical need languages.&nbsp;The
goal of the STARTALK program is to increase the
number and expertise of students and teachers in
critical languages.&nbsp;For more information on
STARTALK please visit:
<a href="http://startalk.umd.edu/">
http://startalk.umd.edu/</a></p>
<p>In 2010, the STARTALK project will provide
funding for programs that occur primarily in the
summer in the following categories:</p>
<p>Programs that offer professional development
opportunities for current or prospective teachers
of offer Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Hindi, Persian,
Russian, Swahili, Turkish, and/or Urdu. Teacher
programs are strongly encouraged to provide a
student component to allow classroom observation
and/or teaching practicum or micro-teaching.</p>
<p>Programs that offer Arabic, Chinese, Hindi,
Persian, Swahili, Turkish, and/or Urdu language
study for students within the K-16 range. Please
note that student programs will NOT be funded for
Dari or Russian in 2010 except in conjunction with
teacher development programs.</p>
<p>STARTALK funding for 2010 programs is currently
at the same level as for 2009, with a mandate to
add teacher programs in two additional languages
and to reach an additional seven states. We
therefore expect greater competition for funding
this year. Awards per program will be capped at
$100,000.&nbsp;The electronic application form will NOT
accept budgets with totals above $100,000. Please
note that budgets should include the cost of
sending at least two representatives to mandatory
pre- and post-program meetings, planned for the
Atlanta, GA area.</p>
<p>STARTALK funds cannot be used to fund study
abroad programs; all instruction must occur in the
United States (with the potential for U.S.
territorial or tribal participation).</p>
<p>If funded, programs will be expected to adhere
to STARTALK “best practice” principles in
implementing the program.&nbsp;Specifically, programs
will be required to:</p>
<p>have all instructors and curriculum planners
complete the Online Curriculum Design Guidelines
tutorial:
<a href="http://startalk.umd.edu/curriculum-guide/">
http://startalk.umd.edu/curriculum-guide/</a></p>

level of language instruction in student programs
and for teacher training programs</p>
<p>attend the&nbsp;April 2010 Pre-program Network
Meeting and October 2010 Post-program Summative
Meeting.</p>
<div>
Research is an important part of the STARTALK
Program.&nbsp;If funded, programs will be required
to:</div>
<p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; participate in STARTALK Central pre-
and post-program online surveys for student and
teacher participants;</p>
<p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; participate&nbsp;in LinguaFolio Online for
student programs, middle school and higher;</p>
<p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; respond promptly to all requests for
reports, data, and program information.</p>
<p>STARTALK Central will provide consultation and
advice for programs selected for funding.&nbsp;Guidance

documents that will be required prior to program
implementation, such as detailed curricula, lesson
